So who we wanna play?

The correct is answer is definitely the Mets, though. They just got swept at home by the Braves. This is a bad baseball team. They are lucky the Wild Card fell back to them. Whoever wins it is going to be an 86-win team. It's going to be a bad playoff team. And the Mets are the worst of the bunch. Their offense is old and they aren't athletic. They are also just bad. Really bad. They can't hit for average. They don't walk. They strike out a lot. They are really bad at running the bases. They are bad defensively. They hit for a little power. But they all sell out for power. That's their only skill, and they lack in other areas offensively because of it. They don't go the other way, or try to get base hits, or doubles down the line. They sell out for power. They are the Cardinals, except they are much worse at it than the Cardinals. Their best position player -- Walker -- is injured. Of their healthy players, Asdrubal Cabrera has the second-most WAR. Curtis Granderson is third, with 1.5. Just yesterday, they started T.J. Rivera, Alejandro De Aza, James Loney, and Rene Rivera.

Last year's Mets team was different. And they had everything clicking at the right time. Guys like Cespedes, Duda, and Granderson all had incredible second-halves and continued playing over their heads into the playoffs. And then Daniel Murphy turned into god-mode. And Wright and d'Arnaud were inexplicably healthy. And they made some nice moves bringing in some solid veterans like Uribe to augment the lineup and bench. And Conforto was pre-broken.

And the pitching...

Somehow the stars were aligned for all those guys to be healthy at the same time last year. Harvey... gone. DeGrom... gone. Matz hasn't pitched in a month, and has had problems with the bone spur and now his shoulder, not to mention a lengthy injury history already. If they are relying on him to be healthy, they are playing with fire. Even Syndergaard hasn't been quite the same since they found out he had a bone spur, either. He's walking a few more guys, he isn't striking out quite as many. He's been prone to have a blow-up game where nothing is working. He's having trouble putting guys away, and he isn't working as deep into games. He's still been very good, but not quite as infallible as he looked earlier this year. And Colon doesn't concern me at all. He's somehow put together a very strong year despite being 65-years-old and throwing nothing but 87-mph fastballs. But, still, he's striking out less than 6 per 9 innings. And if you look at his season, he's feasted against inferior lineups. That horsefeathers might fly against the Braves and Phillies, who don't know how to put together ABs. But look at his numbers against us, the Dodgers, and Nationals. We will feast off of him. He isn't sneaking things past our guys. And if Matz isn't healthy, he's their second best starter, and the only one that will pitch twice.

Bring on the Mets.
